During Rotterdam Art Week, The New Current offers a platform to artists at the start of their career.
The exhibition features mostly large works, and serves as a counterweight to the more traditional exhibitions shown during Rotterdam Art Week: not for profit and in a raw, unpolished space.

About this years edition:

"Transitions: Navigating Humanity in a Shifting Reality"

“Transitions” is a compelling new media exhibition that delves deeply into the complex relationship between people and the ever-evolving world we live in. Through videos and interactive installations, this exhibition explores how individuals survive, adapt and shape an existence that is constantly influenced by technological, cultural and ecological changes.

The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the profound impact of rapid change on human experiences, identities and perceptions. It explores the intersections between technology, nature, society and the individual. The exhibition offers stimulating perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that a constantly changing reality brings. 

The darkness of the space creates an atmosphere of contemplation and concentration, giving you the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the works of art. This immersion counterbalances the speed and superficiality of our contemporary society. We challenge you to stand still, observe and feel, and thus experience a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.

This exhibition invites us to reflect on our place in these turbulent times and to find a moment of wonder and reflection. Through the power of art, we hope to create a space in which new perspectives emerge, in which we can share our fears and hopes, and in which we can collectively think about the future of humanity in this age of technological advancement.
